This is just mean. From Spinner.com:

Dr. Pepper is imploring Axl Rose to put out his album that’s been an astounding 17 years in the making. The creators of the curiously candy-like beverage have promised that if Rose releases Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Chinese Democracy’ at any point in 2008, everyone in America will receive a free can of Dr. Pepper.

Yeah, that’s right: Dr. Pepper is taunting Axl Rose. You know Axl is going to pitch a fit over this, and it’ll be another eight years before that sure-to-be-one-of-the-worst-records-ever finally comes out. Personally, I hope Chinese Democracy never comes out, since seeing what one of the biggest assholes in rock does next is far more entertaining.
